The precise order and timing of hundreds of genetic "switches" required to construct a fully functional heart from embryonic heart cells have been identified by scientists. In a study, researchers in the laboratory of Gladstone Senior Investigator Benoit Bruneau, PhD, employed stem cell technology, next-generation DNA sequencing and computing tools to piece together the instruction manual, or "genomic blueprint" for how a heart becomes a heart.
